Learning Theory
"The human brain does not care about motion, you do not need perfect fidelity in the way it feels to your fingers, or the way it feels to your body. The human body learns those things fast." "What the body needs is a lot of cognitive repetitions. So now, instead of spending millions of dollars on a simulator that is anchored in one location and can
- nly have one person at a time in it, I can afford to
give everybody their own simulator that they can take home with them in their pocket. And they can go through as many cognitive reps as they want.”
- Lt. General Steven Kwast
Head of Air Education and Training Command

Virtual Repetition
"We spend, in the traditional model, a lot of time trying to get students proficient at these maneuvers, when they really could be focusing that time on other things such as instrument flying, formation flying, or introducing new concepts to them.”

Instructor Pilot

Virtual Repetition
“What we’re finding is that … some of the things that we’re expecting to be hurdles” aren’t a problem"
Major Scott Van De Water
Deputy Director of the Pilot Training Next program
VR is mature and ideal for simulating high risk situations
